3. Installation requirements
Note:
Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of
importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home. Because
of the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building materials,
carpet etc. will be attracted. These components can settle themselves down onto cold
surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed too
near to the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind
when installing the appliance.
3.1 Builders opening and surround
Both the BF110V/Straight frameless and the BF110V/Straight frameless can be build in an
optional Faber prefab false chimney breast made of promatec. This false chimney breast is
specially designed to accommodate this type (NOT for the models with frame) and is
applicable for ceiling heights up to 2,9m. It consists of a base part and either a top part
made of promatec or an ornamental flue pipe made of stainless steel.
The fire place can also be build in a non-combustible fire place or builders opening. This
could be either an existing builders opening or a new made prefab builders opening. For the
measurements, see paragraph 3.2.
When you apply your own false chimney breast design to all models of the BF110V/Straight
or BF120H/Relaxed, you have to meet these general requirements:
•
The false chimney breast has to be made of inflamable material;
• The minimum inner width of the false chimney breast has to be at least 976mm (see
paragraph 3.2) and is secured by the floor plate;
•
Minimum distance from the back of the appliance to the wall has to be 10mm;
•
Always install the fire place first, before building up the false chimney breast;
•
Always ventilate the space above the appliance using vents to assure a good air-
circulation;
•
If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with combustible cladding, the cladding
must be removed from the area covered by the surround;
•
The plaster of the outside has to be resistant to a high temperature. Therefore use the
